Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 8, 191.5.

Application filed January as, 1913. Ser1elNo.748.722.

.for its object to provide a simple, inexpen sive device for engaging the ends of a garment as well as supporting a hat and coat, at the same time adapted to hold a coat, vest and trousers and hat, simple in construction and inexpensive to manufacture, also adapted to hold waists, skirts and an entire costume.

With this object in view my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and polnted out in the claims. reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my device. Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken on the line'2, 2 of Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 is a plan view of my device.

The same reference characters denote like parts in each of the several figures of the drawing. I I

In carrying out my invention, I provide a curved cross bar A, conforming to the lines of the shoulders of a coat or vest. Pivotally mounted in bar A, I have the vertical hanging hook, F. Extending downward from the under side of the bar .A and mounted therein I have the metallic spring rodsB B and B B so as to spread outward at their lower ends.

On the lower ends of rods'B B and B B,.are mounted the parallel bars' 0 and C. Slidably mounted on the spring rods B and B and'B and B, I have the handle bar D. The spring bars B and B and B and B pass through openings in said handle bar D at the points 2, 2 and 2 2. Mounted on the side of bar A I have screw eyes, 3, 3 and linked in these screw eyes 3, 3 is the loop hook E. I

In the operation of my device I raise the handle bar D sliding it along the. spring rods B B and BB toward the top. The resilient nature of the spring rods cause the tors Patent is as follows:

bars C and C to spread and I then insert an article of clothing between the bars C and C. I then pull down the handle bar 1) which draws together the bars (.3 and C, holding or clamping the arment firmly in place. The hanging hoo c F is pivotally mounted, and turns so that the hanger may be fastened on a wire or cord at any angle. When I desire to use the loop hook E for a hanger, I so turn the hang wire F that the loop hook E will pass-over the wire F until it rests upon and is supported by the bar A and assumes the position shown in Figs. 1

and 2. When not used as a hat hanger, the loop hook E is turned upon the rear side of the bar A, as shown in broken lines in Fig. 2, and in that position does not interfere with objects near the side of the hanger.

Having thus described myinvention,what I claim as new and for which I desire Let- 1. In a device of the class described, a supporting bar, a hanger for the supporting bar rotatably mounted in the latter at one end and having a hook at its free end, a hat hook pivotally secured 'at one end to the rear side i .of the supporting bar and adapted to be swung over and rest upon the supporting bar, said hat hook being formed w1th an opening to permit the hat hook to be swung over and embrace the supporting hanger over and. rest upon the supporting bar, the 100 hook of the hanger having been turned at ri ht an les to the su )ortin bar to )ermit H i l the parallel members of the hat hook to pass upon opposite sides of the hanger.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my 105 signature in presence of two witnesses.
